(Via)  My best friend Lauren told me blush helps wake up a tired face, and my roommate Lauren told me boys are subconsciously attracted to girls with super-blushed cheeks.  And now I always, always wear too much blush.

Lauren just sent me this picture.  “You would wear the same costume as Martha Stewart,” she said.  Blake and Martha baked pumpkin-chocolate marble cake together on the Martha Stewart Show.

Occupational therapists celebrate Halloween, too!  We kicked off our night with a chili dinner party with several of Katie’s fellow OT students — a fairy, Daisy Duke, a farm, Madonna, a crazy cat lady & a boxer.

With my Medusa costume, I fulfilled a childhood dream.  I planned to be Medusa in the fourth grade, too, but because the snake-y wig scared me, I chickened out and dressed up at the Statue of Liberty — complete with a tinfoil-wrapped flashlight “torch” — instead.  This year, Katie, Shannon and I made a snake headband and, with pins and clear fishing wire, dangled snakes from my hair and toga.

Happy Halloween! When I was growing up, my family celebrated Halloween with the Scarborough family, who would come to our house for trick-or-treating and chili.
